AITH Horror Videos of the Week: Alien 3, Predator 2, Michael Myers & Lussier

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Another Friday is upon us, and that mean it's time to assemble all of the latest additions to our JoBlo Horror YouTube channel (check it out and subscribe HERE) together in one place. It's the AITH HORROR VIDEOS OF THE WEEK!

This week took a look at the troubled sequel ALIEN 3 for an episode of WTF HAPPENED TO THIS HORROR MOVIE?, investigated Michael Myers for BEHIND THE (MOVIE) KILLER, asked Patrick Lussier to provide video commentary on some of his favorite scenes from movies he's directed for an episode of MAKING OF, and defended PREDATOR 2 with an episode of THE F*CKING BLACK SHEEP. All of these videos can be seen below.

ALIEN 3 – WTF Happened to This Horror Movie

The 1992 ALIEN 3 is the ideal example of a Studio clusterf*ck. The development/pre-production process of that picture was a fiasco of epic proportions with way too many cooks in the kitchen. A slew of writers had a shot at it, namely: William Gibson, Eric Red, David Twohy and John Fasano. And before David FIncher took the helm, Vincent Ward and Renny Harlin were at some point slated to direct. Pop that Pop Corn and enjoy the ride as we take you through the long and tortuous journey that ALIEN 3 went through to finally hit the silver scream.

This show's M.O. in case you don't know it: Hollywood has had its fair share of historically troubled productions. Whether it was casting changes, actor deaths, fired directors, in-production rewrites, constant delays, budget cuts or studio edits, these films had every intention to be a blockbuster, but were beset with unforeseen disasters. Sometimes huge hits, sometimes box office bombs. Either way, we have to ask: WTF Happened To This Horror Movie?

MICHAEL MYERS – Behind The Movie Killer

Horrific murders… unexplained phenomena… slashers, monsters, or worse… it's out there. Someone has to try and make sense of it all. That's where we come in. Please, join Special Agent Casper Bollocks (Mike Catalano) for in-depth looks into society's sickest psychotics. This is Behind the (Movie) Killer.

In 1978, Special Agent Casper Bollocks came upon a case that left him baffled via one of his associates Doctor Sam Loomis. The one of seemingly unstoppable Michael Myers. Why does he feel the need to kill? Why Halloween? Why can't bullets make a dent on the schmuck? Jojn our trustee agent on his investigation as he attempts to find out.

MAKING OF WITH… PATRICK LUSSIER 

In our latest episode of MAKING OF WITH… we hunted down Screenwriter (Trick, Terminator Genisys), Director (My Bloody Valentine 3D, Drive Angry) and Editor PATRICK LUSSIER (Wes Craven's New Nightmare, Scream 1-2-3) and asked him to pick 4 of of his favorite scenes from his and to give us some trivia and behind the scenes about said scenes. So have a cup of coffee, sit your ass down and join Pat has he goes deep into the making of My Bloody Valentine 3D, Dracula 2000, Flesh and Blood and White Noise 2.

PREDATOR 2 – The Black Sheep

In the latest episode of THE BLACK SHEEP, we take a look back at Stephen Hopkins "used to be very underrated but has been getting love over time" sequel PREDATOR 2 (1987). The film stars Kevin Peter Hall, Danny Glover, Gary Busey, Maria Conchita Alonso and the late Bill Paxton. Fast paced, excessively violent, with real stunts galore (none of that CG stuff), PREDATOR 2 is like fine wine, it just gets better with time. So join us as we defend another BLACK SHEEP!
